In a contemporary application design that utilizes microservices and keeps up with dynamic analytics demands, it’s common to synchronize data from various databases dispersed throughout an enterprise and integrated with diverse systems. In modern applications, real-time syncing of databases is often necessary, so the synchronization cannot wait for a batch job to run daily or even hourly.

The “Change Data Capture” concept addresses this need for real-time syncing by capturing and tracking any changes made to the data in the source databases and propagating those changes to the target databases in real time.
